The current bpf trampoline attach to kernel functions via ftrace direct
call API, while text_poke is applied for bpf2bpf attach and tail call
optimization. For architectures that do not support ftrace direct call,
text_poke is still able to attach bpf trampoline to kernel functions.
Let's relax it by rollback to text_poke when architecture not supported.

After this patch, a kernel function with true trace_location will be
patched
by bpf when CONFIG_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS is disabled, which
means
that a kernel function may be patched by both bpf and ftrace in a mutually
unaware way. This will cause ftrace and bpf_arch_text_poke to fail in a
somewhat random way if the function to be patched was already patched
by the other.
Thanks for your review. And yes, this is a backward compatible solution
for architectures that not support DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_DIRECT_CALLS.
It's not "backward compatible". Reiterating what Kuohai said; The BPF
trampoline must be aware of ftrace's state -- with this patch, the
trampoline can't blindly poke the text managed my ftrace.
I'd recommend to remove this patch from the series.
